One of the biggest fans of Tennessee's 2023 squad is an Alabama fan

Has us #5 in his preseason rankings.

Crazy times...

His rankings are kinda like mine, how in he!! Is Clemson and LSU getting so respect over Tennessee, after we took both to the woodshed?

MattBeGreat is a Bammer, but he has always been consistent in his respect for Tennessee.

"As most of you guys know, first, I'm a college football fan before I'm an Alabama football fan."

His voice is annoying but his points are valid. Clemson ranked ahead of us is a joke.

As much as I hate it, they take schedule into consideration and Clemp-son doesn’t have many foreseeable losses. Meanwhile we play 2 of the top 4. Trust me, I think we would take them to the woodshed again, but understand the preseason rankings. If we win the games in front of us, we don’t need to worry about the rankings.

None of this preseason stuff means anything. The older I've gotten the more I have come to realize this. The ONLY thing that matters is W's and L's. Period. Just win baby!

Win all of the games on your schedule. Go to Conference Championship. Win it. Make playoffs Win your playoff game. A simple plan for success to end up in National Championship Game.

This is both right and wrong. The preseason rankings cement the bias that those NOT ranked at the top have to overcome. You're right in that nothing matters but Ws and Ls, but have you seen Georgia's schedule? Half their team will have to miss the plane to a game to lose any in that weak ass list. (Except ours)

Finding a bammer fan with common sense......what's next a unicorn, bigfoot....

Good points. But they shouldnt rank teams high because of their ****** (or tough) schedule. Everyone wants to be right though. Easy schedules help with the "predictions" of records, no doubt.

Tennessee and Clemson are close to having the same roster as the Orange bowl. I don't see LSU improvement.

He made a video about the CFB ranking and said TN was ranked wrong, they should've been higher
